stand about 5 ft away on the back and you can tell

even the shackle sits different on the drivers (towards the back) vs the pass (towards the front)

Exactly, the driver side springs tend to sag quicker.  I know a guy the ordered a custom set of Alcan springs and they specifically made him driver and passenger side springs to account for his size

I believe Jay has only had these springs on the rig for a couple of months now, as he bought them from me, and I never had them installed.

I seriously doubt that somehow, by coincidence, he managed to get the same spring on the rear driver's side, but then again....only a 1 in 4 chance.

i find my passenger rear leaf pack sags a little. but i think mine is due to agressive driving. when you accelerate from a stop the jeep should torque over to that side. thus adding more stress to that leaf pack. thats what i see happening on my jeep. i have a home made batch of leaf srpings though. mix of two different lift kits.
now, is it sagging in the left rear, or is the right rear just higher? sounds dumb but who knows?
